Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, begins this evening with a minute-long siren, when the whole of Israel comes to a halt and the nation pauses to remember the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.

This year, this day of mourning and reflection takes place in the shadow of the shocking, worldwide recrudescence of antisemitism.
